In what is perhaps the most significant breakthrough in cognitive neuroscience since the MRI itself, scientists at UC Berkeley have figured out a way to reconstruct brainwaves into digital video. Stop.

I always wanted to reblog my own quote. :)
“… If you are entrusting your life data to Facebook, or if you are depending on Facebook and its platform for your livelihood, beware.

Think really hard — really, think — before trusting Facebook or its employees with anything.”
“Part of the problem comes from the idea that physicists and engineers do ‘hard science’ while everyone else does, well, ‘easy science.’ We are told that physics is the core science and everything else is, essentially, just an elaboration atop the underlying physics. The implication is that we physicists, if we would only find problems in other fields interesting, could solve the relevant equations and everyone in that field could retire.”

“And then, there are the pork chops. I’ve struggled for years to get a perfectly cooked pork chop. I’ve tried pan frying, broiling, baking, and braising, and nothing works reliably. They’re just too lean and too thin. They overcook before the outside starts to brown. With sous vide, they’re just right, every time, with almost no effort. They’re cooked all the way through, but not overcooked, and they’re so tender that you can cut them with a fork.”
